Perfectly positioned just moments from the heart of Historic downtown Mount Dora, this completely renovated garden-style condo is turn-key and offers a rare blend of luxury, privacy, and modern convenience. Completed in January 2025, Unit 1 is the only residence in the community with direct walkout access to the pool and grilling area, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle while also enjoying the privacy of having no adjacent neighbors. Southern Oaks is a well-maintained, 55+ community offering a relaxed lifestyle with great amenities — including a heated pool, shuffleboard courts, clubhouse, workshop, designated storage, two community laundry rooms, and elevators — all surrounded by tranquil, landscaped grounds. Inside, the expanded kitchen was thoughtfully redesigned with timeless white Shaker cabinetry featuring soft-close doors and drawers, quartz countertops, striking Zellige tile backsplash, and abundant storage including large pot and dish drawers and a built-in pantry with rollout shelving. A full suite of Samsung SmartThings™ stainless steel appliances elevates the space with smart technology, including a counter-depth refrigerator with dual icemakers, internal auto-fill water pitcher, induction range with air fry convection oven, and app-controlled functionality. A built-in 30-inch wine and beverage center completes the kitchen’s sophisticated design. The open living and dining areas are accented by custom beamed ceilings, recessed lighting, smooth-finish ceilings throughout, and polished concrete floors that create a clean, contemporary aesthetic. Every detail has been carefully curated, from the solid-core doors and oversized 5½-inch baseboards to the custom trim work and top-down/bottom-up shades throughout the home. Both bedrooms enjoy ensuite-style bath access, including a beautifully redesigned guest bath with a walk-in tiled shower featuring rainfall, body spray, and handheld fixtures behind custom glass doors. The expanded primary suite offers a true spa-like retreat with a luxurious walk-in shower featuring rainfall, waterfall, body spray, handheld fixtures, and integrated Bluetooth™ speaker system, along with a floating double vanity illuminated by subtle low-voltage lighting. Raised ceiling details and a stylish fandelier enhance the primary bedroom, while custom Elfa™ closet systems maximize storage throughout the home. Additional upgrades include dual hot water heaters, a whole-house dual water filtration system, whisper-quiet humidity-sensing bath fans vented to the exterior, new storm doors at the entry and screened lanai, and recessed lighting throughout key living spaces. This exceptional condo combines thoughtful design, high-end finishes, and an unbeatable location near the shops, restaurants, waterfront, and charm of downtown Mount Dora. This condo is perfect as a full-time residence, seasonal retreat, or investment property, delivering the best of Mount Dora’s friendly community and vibrant lifestyle.
